Gamble With Your Friends Mods — Lists, Loaders & More Players

Gamble With Your Friends has a young but active mod scene, hosted on the two platforms Unity co-op games always land on: Nexus Mods and Thunderstore. This page is the informational map — what exists, what the popular categories are, and how installs work — deliberately not a download hub; the platforms themselves do that job better. Everything here is observed from the mod ecosystem and community write-ups rather than the game itself.

Where the mods are

Both hubs index GWYF under its own game entry: nexusmods.com (game: gamblewithyourfriends) and thunderstore.io (package list for Gamble With Your Friends). Thunderstore is the usual home for BepInEx-style loader packs (the game runs on Unity), while Nexus hosts the long-form mod pages with version tracking. Counts are still small compared to giants — a handful of active pages on each — which is exactly why this overview exists instead of a "top 20" list that would age badly.

The categories players actually look for

• More players — the single most requested mod idea: raising the 6-player ceiling for bigger groups. Community posts about it exist; treat any specific install as experimental (host and all clients need matching mods).
• More items / item spawns — the black-market pool is finite per run; item-related mods extend the toybox. Pair with our items database to know what's vanilla first.
• Quality of life — faster cycles, UI tweaks, lobby conveniences. The V1.0.30 update already added custom rules officially, so check updates before installing something the game now does natively.
• Cosmetics — the in-game ticket shop already sells outfits; cosmetic mods extend that closet.

How installs work (and break)

The Unity + BepInEx route: install the loader pack into the game folder, drop mod DLLs/packages in, launch normally. Co-op is the fragile part — every player in the lobby typically needs the same mod set, and after a game patch, mods wait on a loader update. "Mods not working" after an update almost always means the loader or one package is behind the current game version; the safe order is: update the loader first, then re-add mods one at a time.

Mods and "cheating"

A mod menu that alters odds sits in the same philosophical slot as the bat exploits the developers openly allow: GWYF is co-op against the house, so the only fairness you break is your crew's. Note that exploit guides like the infinite money glitch need no mods at all — the vanilla game is already generous. If you are here because vanilla feels stretched, the strategy hub may add more hours than any mod.
